TikTok users are so deep in TikTok they don't realize how much they've been brainwashed by it
TikTok defenders are literally spending hours per day on a Chinese-owned app that tells them "This platform is great, we promise, you can trust us!" then don't even have the self-awareness to realize that they only feel that way themselves because they've been completely propagandized.
That's literally the reason TikTok exists in the U.S. In China they limit the types of content youth are even allowed to see to things like education, specifically because they know how harmful the app is on a cultural level.
Of course you think TikTok is harmless: You spend all day on TikTok, where they're doing everything they can to brainwash you into thinking it's harmless lol. Wake the fuck up!
